i wouldn't go for case-mate for the charge. this item is not on their website so who knows if this is even a case-mate case. Case-mate is pretty reputable but since this isn't on their website I would stay away.

How far does this go towards protection? I like the way it looks.

I used the barely there for over a year on my EVO and never a problem. I dropped it a couple times. I believe these hard shells give the corners/back/body more strength withour adding bulk. These things are already plenty big IMO. With the gorilla glass I dont think there is any need for screen protection. IMHO
I did order the one off Ebay, but that Incipio looks pretty sweet too. I'll let you know how it works out in 7-10 days

I probably would have given the Case Mate case a try if I had seen it when I ordered my Incipio Silicrylic case, but I like the styling of the Incipio so we will see how that one works out for me in a few days, but it is good to see that there might be a Barely There case available for the Charge which is a good thing.

Those could possibly be real. I would wait either way. Do not go for the Incipo feather, it is horrible. I liked it for my Atrix but the deign they did for the Charge is horrible.

case-mate and barely there
I've seen the case-mate barely there cases on ebay even before they were released on the official site. As of this writing case-mate does have the barely there cases in stock (at least when I check). It comes in two colors black and pink.
As for the alternatives I bought the Incipio case only because I couldn't resist that thin red profile. But I made the purchase knowing full well what I was getting into--if you are looking for actual protection follow the advice of the previous posters and look elsewhere. It's also worth mentioning that the case-mate version is a complete piece in terms of surrounding the phone--the Incipio has a break on the left side for the charger port and destroys the aesthetic for a lot of people.
On a side note, some ebay sellers seem to be selling the case-mate tough line. I would never personally order anything from ebay without having seen it in stock on the official website. But ebay had the barely there cases even before case-mate's site had it in stock. They did have a preview of the product however, you just couldn't order it. If the tough cases are showing up on ebay it's probably safe to assume that they will be offering it quite soon officially. Even amazon has an official pre-order for the item but their time frame is 1-3 months.
I hope they release the tough cases soon, I had one for the Nexus One and was really happy with it and it looks thinner (by its pics) than the Incipio dual layer case that is currently being offered. I want a bit more protection for my phone but want to avoid making it too thick so the Otter and Trident cases are out the window, even if they offer extra covering.

I've been waiting for CaseMate to release this for awhile now. I just ordered it and will probably do a review when I get it.
I was disappointed in the Incipio Feather, I did a review a few pages back (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147494). In fact, shortly after my review, the coating started to come off around the edges, which was pretty disappointing.

OK, I dont know how Ebay gets stuff before it's even on the manufacturers own website, but this is the real deal! If not, it the best looking knockoff I've ever seen. I had one for close to a year with my EVO and this one has the same build quality. It amazes me how tight these cases fit, yet snap on or off effortlessly. I am definitely happy now and wont need another till I get my GSII.
The fit is amazing, but hey...a picture tells more than I can. Even with me poor photo skillz
​
Another thing...Ordered on Friday at 9AM and received Mondays mail. That's great for ebay.

Thank you so much for posting your pics!
I was curious as to how the case-mate one looked. I was debating on purchasing it but I really want a red one. I have the red Incipio feather case but the case-mate looks like it puts it to shame. The feather case sits a mm or two below the plane of the screen which I don't like--along with the break for the charger port. At the time I got my phone I had little choice but I'll have to take the case-mate version into consideration.
I ordered the tough case off amazon, it should arrive in a day or two. Ever since I got a spare battery I have to constantly remove the feather case and the inner edge of the case is tearing. I can see the silver lining now--it's not too bad but it is annoying if you notice small things like that.

I saw that the ebay seller has a white one but I did not see this on Case Mates website. The picture on ebay looks a little green though. Would like something other than black or pink ...

Now they are on CM site' lol

Anybody know how these compare to the incipio feather cases. They are the same price. and look almost the same. Was wondering if there was any difference quality wise.
Incipio Feather I had this on my fascinate and loved it. Very sturdy.

Well the Incipio Feather is so bad that I actually sent mine back. The button cutouts were uncomfortable to use and it did not wrap around the screen. The main reason I wanted it was so I could put my phone screen down without a screen protector. I had the Feather on my Atrix and loved it.
The Barely There looks like its designed a lot better. I would not even consider the Feather if I were you.

Thanks I went with the case mate.

Anyone know if either of these fit in the desktop dock?

If you mean the Samsung Dock (model ECR-D994BE) it won't. I have it and no kind of plastic case will allow the phone to sit flush in the dock. You will have to remove the case to use the dock properly.

The Case-Mate does pop off & on very easily.

The Bestbuy Rocketfish case is also a great barely there case.
It completely wraps the phone.. I have it and love it so far.

Yeah I know but since they are adding one of their iPhone type cases to the Nexus One about every two weeks I think later on they will have one of the best selections of snap on cases in the future.
the black case is very intriguing but the pictures suck at showing how it covers the phone, post pictures when you get it????

I'm still waiting for it but when I get I'll take some pictures. Also I should be getting a chrome one from Case-mate this week, I'll post pics of that one to.
I got the ultra-case - The One yesterday. It fits the phone well, but does cover the dock pins even though they say it does not. Oh well, it prolly would not fit in a dock with the case anyhow.
I did not know what I was going to do for case/skin, etc so I bought this case, and a BSE skin. I will definitely be using the skin over the case.
Case feel like a cheap hard rubber case that can be bought for iphones for $3 all day long.. I was dissapointed to say the least. I guess I'll just have to wait for otterbox to kick out their cases for these phones.
I'm sending the case back and applying my BSE skin now...

I bought the Case-Mate Barely There case for my Nexus One. Just came in today. If anyone is familiar with the Incipio Feathercase for the iPhone, this case very similar to that one. Good protection without the added bulk of most cases. Still small enough to fit in one of those belt holster deals.

Yeah I got it, its kind of hard to take a picture since its chrome. I will tell you this the chrome snap-on case from Case-mate is feels way better than the Black by Ultra-case. The black one feels some what loose like it might come off, I can definitely recommend buying the chrome one it looks sweet and has a perfect fit. When it comes to shipping I paid Ultra-case $19.99 for 2-4day delivery from Hong Kong to the U.S., well it took 21days that is their $2.00 delivery option so I had to email them and get my $18 back, I first ordered on March 3rd and they said I would be refunded but I'm still waiting for it to show up on my credit card. With Case-mate I payed $5.92 for 2-4day delivery and I received it in 4 days.

They are the same and you can find them for $5 if you look harder on ebay, I have bought 3 for $12 before for my Mytouch 3G. The only thing that is unique about Ultra-cases.com is thier snap-on cases because hardly anybody makes them for the Nexus One mosts of these type of cases are for the iPhone, I still think the chrome one from Case-mate is better.

I just received that Seidio Holster case, it works great. I didn't want to get one of the other cases since they cover up the engraving I had done. Bravo Seidio!
I bought this case from Incipio and it is pure crap just like the one from Ultracase here are the cases I am talking about:

The Case-mate: Google Nexus One Barely There is far superior to those piece of crap cases.
Just in case anyone is still looking for cases for the Nexus this thread has good websites.

[Q] Looking for Desire S skin/case sources

hi all.
can any one suggest a supplier for a Desire S gel/silicon skin/ case similar to the ones for the HTC Wildfire (https://www.amazon.co.uk/EMARTBUY-WILDFIRE-SILICON-COVER-FLORAL/dp/B0043RI9BS/ref=sr_1_21?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1304424909&sr=1-21
Sorry for the long url.
I'm not interested in the "plain gel" cases and I would rather buy new. I'm reasonably happy to use a non-UK supplier so long as they can ship to the UK.
Thanks in advance
I've been surprised and disappointed at how few accessories are available for the Desire S
Check out mobilefun.co.UK
There aren't many cases out there yet. I'm waiting to see if otterbox release one

Otterbox just released their commuter case for the desire s, should be available in the UK soon.

Have just taken reciept of the otterbox commuter. Took 5 days to ship to UK direct from otterbox and as usual its exceptional quality. Every port has a good flap seal and yet adds no noticable distortion of the design of the phone. Bought it do 35 usd so about 25 gbp
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Thanks - ebay to the rescue: case found and bought!
Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.
I finally went for a neat silicone skin on ebay.
Nonetheless it's still frustrating to have to work "so hard" to find accessories for HTC devices.
I know it's not everything but I can't help thinking that Apple have focussed on cultivating a few trusted partners who always seem to release quality (and quantity) accessories whenever a new device is released. It means that generally Apple owners (new and old) can enjoy the whole experience of phone/tablet, case, etc at the same time.
I would suggest that this lends itself to a feeling that the whole world is Apple when they release something.
Here endeth the psalm
UPDATE: Well a little under 1 month after purchase, the gel case is losing shape and barely protecting my phone. Disappointed really - I'd hoped to get a t least 12 months out of the case...
Bought an Otterbox Commuter the other day....can't see a better case for the phone. Classic and perfect fit. Remains to be seen how durable the port covers are tho
The 'Barely there' case is a good price from amazon, but when fitted gives the impression of very little protection!
I got mine from Mobilefun.co.UK: honest price, fast delivery, and looks nice on my DS
Cancelled my order for an Otterbox Commuter from the USA when the seller advised that "Standard Flat-rate International Delivery" meant 7 to 8 weeks! I could doggy-paddle over to the states and back in that time! My boss says I don't have enough holiday left though. Plus it would provide me with too much opportunity to drop the phone (I like outdoor sports/activites) whilst waiting, so I went with the Case-Mate Tough Case. It's what kept my old Desire immaculate for 14 months. Very pleased with it.
It adds a bit of bulk but that's the trade-off isn't it? You want max protection, expect it to add size. The 'Barely There' range of Case-Mate cases are at the other end of the scale. Minimal intrusion on the original design, but only protects the back and corners.
The Tough Case feels very nice to hold and you just stop worrying about dropping it. It also stops the side volume rocker buttons from being easily pressed getting it out your pocket. It is such a pretty phone I take it out the case when at home, and you HAVE to take it out the case when using Google Sat Nav else it overheats. But at least I know if I drop it now, I'll only be worrying what damage I've done to the floor!
hi
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/htc-desire-s-46185p.html
this is what im using now. got it for rs. 550 in bombay. always wanted a chrome.
Ive had a chance to test out a few cases now between me and my wifes Desire S and here's my quick reviews:
Otterbox Commuter Case: Good strong protection for the phone. It's definately overpriced though, and the rubber lip on the bottom can get a bit loose and unsightly. It attracts dust etc like the plague, and the outer hard shell can get easily scratched. Probably the best protection you can buy for the phone, but does bulk it out a bit. It depends on whether you can live with that trade off. You cant use any docks with this case.
Barely There: Very good case for the curent price on Amazon. It hardly adds to the phone atall. I don't fancy dropping the phone from any great height though. Basically, the opposite to the Commuter case. The phone fits perfectly around the ports and the outer case seems almost scratch resistant. Another bonus is ir seems to work with any dock as it adds very little bulk.
Silicone S Case: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-HTC-DESIR...sesPouches&hash=item43a71eb008#ht_1491wt_1141
Bought this on ebay not expecting much for the money, but it's my favourite case. It looks stylish & fits the ports perfectly. It seems to give good protection all around the case and the side grips are a handy feature. Does't fit the dock, but I can live with that.
Hope this helps someone

I can also vouch for the Case Mate Barely There case. Mine arrived today and very impress with how thin the case is. I tend to avoid using cases as they will always result in the phone to be more bulky but the Barely There is very slim profile and has this smooth rubber surface at the back to give you the added grip. Nevertheless the case is so thin it does make me wonder how durable it is…(only time will tell)
It comes with the case, screen protector and screen cloth and selling for £8.99 @ amazon.
I had a cheap silicon one from bay of the e, to me the phone felt big and bulky but rolled with it as my phone was protected. I have just got the barley there (black) from amazon uk an its brilliant (although the reviews do not rate the screen protector as if you take it off it leaves a glue like residue and its tough to get off I got the HTC screen protector which is great) but the case is amazing hardly notice its there.
the only advantage the silicon one had it that my phone would stand up horizontally whilst watching tv/films on the treadmill due to the silicon being rubbery. The barley there case does it to a point. but still my preference it the barley there it feels 1000% better (plus I can (just about) slip the DS with the barley there case on into the silicon case for the treadmill)
Right waffle over.
I should get my Desire S tomorrow but I have already bought a Case Mate tough case for it, it seems like a good product and I will let you know how I get on with it. I am tempted by the Barely There case for when I want something more low-key.
You'll like the tough case. If like me though, it comes with a screen protector that doesn't fit (was for a different phone I think), just email case mate. I posted back the duffer, and they sent me 4 replacements! Bless em.

Cases that cover ports

I work in an environment where particles can easy plug up ports.
Anyone know of cases that cover or plug them so I don't get them full of debris?
alternative, you can buy port caps.
in doing a quick search on Amazon, I found this: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=micro%20usb%20port%20cap. Definitely some options.
Definitely a good idea. I work in area with a lot dust and petrocoke dust too.

Here's three choices, the Seidio isn't available yet and I think at least one of the Otterbox models, probably the Defender has the port covers. I called Seidio last week and they said they didn't have an ETA. I called Ballistic today and they said later this week or early next week it'll be available so that's what I'm going to order.

How is the overall feel of the case? I was looking at this one as well. I had a clear case for the HTC M8, but it felt tacky and the clear back showed fingerprints all of the time. Does this case have those issues? TIA.
I got the white note, so finger prints are not that visible. However, with the black note I imagine that they would be.

I have the black Note 4 and bought the clear version of this case. It's a solid case- the button feedback is fantastic and it's actually slightly slimmer than the SPIGEN UH (I also bought that in clear). The Spigen feels a little tougher/thicker and the buttons on those are too flat so the feedback isn't as nice. The BIG BIG BIG problem with both of these cases is that they SCRATCH EASILY...like really easily. I took off the caution sticker on the back for the Ringke Fusion and my nail, despite being very careful, left deep indented scratches that can't be removed - it makes the case look really bad when scratched up, unfortunately. The grip on both, though, is solid. The port sockets actually close up perfectly on the Fusion case. I also bought the Ringke Slim case in Black SF (soft feel) and I'm very very happy with it. This is the case I'll be keeping. I'm sending back the other two.

I just looked at a Defender case at AT&T and am disappointed. I don't know about their Defender cases for other phones, but the Note 3 has a cover for the home button. There Defender case for the Note 4 does not, instead it just has a cut out in the screen protector for the home button. I enjoyed the port covers and liked the peace of mind knowing that if something did drip a little on my phone I could probably just wipe it off (happened once). Instead there is now a big hole in the screen protector that will allow any liquid to come in and stay trapped.
Just something to think about...

I ordered the Ballistic Tough Maxx. I researched Otterbox a couple of years ago and on their own website a lot of customers were complaining the cases were coming loose. Most indicated they would not recommend to a friend. Plus I think they're overpriced. I got my Ballistic for $34 incl freight.

Might I ask not only how you ordered the Tough Maxx when it is not yet available, but also how you were able to get it for $34? TIA

I ordered it through a 3rd party Amazon reseller called Warehouse Distributing who showed they had one available when I ordered it two days ago. After my order their link on the Amazon webpage was removed. It was supposed to have shipped yesterday or today but last night they sent me an email stating it was backordered with an ETA TBD. Warehouse Distributing is a new Amazon reseller and the individual that sent the email in a follow up email to my response questioning why the status change claimed they don't have any merchandise of any kind and just forward their orders to their suppliers. He said by the time he had done that with my order the remaining case had been sold. I have my doubts that a case was ever available because I called Ballistic earlier in the week and they said it would be released either later this week or early next week.
All in all a most dissastisfactory experience with Warehouse Distributing.
The Unicorn Beetle Pro w/holster has port covers too.
Here's a pic
One more.
Otterbox Defender, toughest case you can buy if your not concerned with the bulkiness of it and the cost. Remove the built in screen protector and add Tempered Glass. I'm a machine operator and am tough on everything. This is the best option I've found. Covers the ports for both power and headphones.
This is what I bought for my Note 4

Thanks much for the heads up!! I just ordered one myself. Last night I ordered the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro on Amazon and after I ordered it it showed a delivery between 11-3 & 11-19 which greatly disappointed me. The product description stated shipping in 3-4 days. I'd rather have the Ballistic because of the separate screen cover piece so when a tempered glass protector without the halo effect becomes available I can easily use it. Plus the Ballistic is I think a more rugged case than the Supcase. I really wanted a kickstand but the only one I found that had port covers, a belt clip & a kickstand is the Seidio Convert Combo which is not yet released and when I called them last week they said they had no release ETA for it. What I don't get about the Ballistic is it's available on eBay but not on Ballistic's website. First time I've ever bought anything on eBay. Thanks again for letting me know about the availability.
I bought the Ringke fusion from amazon and it covers the USB and headphone openings. It also came with a screen protector and has a loop for a wrist strap,which I use with my wii wrist strap when I'm out taking photos in precarious situations. Wish I had it when I was out exploring caves.

Help me find a note 4 case with holster!

I need help finding a case that has a belt holster, the phone is too big and too hard to put into my pants sometimes and is very frustrating. My note 2 I used the platinum case. However I would prefer a more 'gel grip' case if possible.
Edit: Must be white!
Yes let me know too!
Yeah I would be interested too. Maybe just a holster as I like the case I have already.
Buy the pelican case through AT&T. Best case out by FAR
I ordered 2 through amazon. The Encased and Cellbee brands. Waiting for them to arrive to seenif they are any good.

i have this in black. its not bad. plenty of protection, built in screen protector (at least till there are some decent glass ones, then its coming off or i'll get a uag to go with it. i cut off the dust covers to the usb and headphone, i just dont like them on any case. i'd rate it a 6 or 7/10. i prefer uag though.
it comes with a holster. not as good of one as say otterbox, but it works and keeps it secure. just not as fluid in and out of it.
Too bad that it must be white. My Seidio Surface is perfect for me.

I'm looking forward to getting my Surface today but even more forward to Seidio releasing the Convert add on kit so I can order that and their Quest car mount.
I think you'll like it. I had the Speigen cases just to get by, and paid more than I needed to for the Seidio on Preorder overnight, but man the thing is almost perfect. I added a flygrip to it which makes it complete for me, obviously not for everyone, but certainly functional. Wish I got just a plain black flygrip, but will have to manage for now.

Eventually when Best Buy gets them they sell the Surface w/ holster for $20 less than Seidio. It's called their Platinum series. But I needed some protection 2 weeks ago when I got the phone. This Seidio Surface is the 4th case I've ordered, the first three orders were cancelled. Between that and the glass screen protector issue it has been a real PITA trying to protect this phone.
My Seidio Surface is junk. It feels cheap around the edges, doesn't seem 100% snug, plus the the top section and the bottom section slide around a little bit at the connection. I am really disappointed in Seidio .

If mine fits like that I'll send it back. If I wasn't able to turn the Surface into the Convert model I never would have ordered it. I think it's way overpriced and underfeatured. Doesn't even have covers for the side rocker switches let alone dust caps for the headphone jack & mini USB port. For $35 + freight to me that's too much money for what the case offers.
to me it has the feeling of a cheap case made in china bought off ebay. ..
Why not look at getting a leather type case that will fit the phone with a case. That's what I'm doing. I have the Incipio case and ordered a leather belt pouch to hold it. I prefer a belt clip, but I am hesitant to use Seidio anymore since my Note 2 days. I had the Surface for the Note 2 and it scratched the heck outta the phone's frame.
I've had better luck with rubber base cases. On my Note 2, I switched to the Otterbox Commuter with its rubber liner and was scratch free. That's why I'm trying the Incipio 2 piece case that has a rubber skin and a plastic outer shell like the Otterbox Commuter.
Thank you all for all of your advice, I am going with the last option of adding a clip that will be detachable. I have to have white, I just don't like the black on white...being that my phone is white... So I ordered this case.

Out of curiosity what kind of belt clip are you going to use that will be detachable for this case?

I'm a modder at heart. So most likely like the guy above did with the clip on the case, however I'm doing research currently to find a way to remove it so the clip can stay on your belt.
Something like this, but even more low profile..

On the Android Central forums I think somebody has one of those and reviewed it briefly.

Poetic Affinity Edge + case review

Firstly Poetic approached me on the forums and asked me if i would be willing to write a short review for their product, i was sent this case free of charge however my opinion will remain fair and unbiased.
Firstly I cant exactly take photos of the product as I only have the one phone however you can find product images at this link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Affinity-Pr...8&qid=1448198500&sr=8-21&keywords=poetic+case
After using this product for a few weeks I now feel competent enough with the product to create an unbiased review.
The design of the product is what first caught my eye it is very nice and does not look cheap at all while still allowing the premium design of the edge to show through while at the same time providing very good protection. (I have not dropped my phone yet so i cannot comment much on protection.)
Secondly the value of the product in my opinion is very good, for the price you pay you get a very nice protective case that does not add too much bulk at all, it also has a small lip on the front of the screen that goes around the device to protect the screen while at the same time leaving the edge accessible and easy to use. I do not normally pay a lot for cases my previous case for this device was the ringke slim for around this price however this product is in my opinion much nicer looking with a much more attractive design with also possibly more drop protection.
Finally in value for money I believe that this product is quite high value for money, it is I believe cheaper than a lot of spigen cases while in my opinion still having a more attractive design and providing more drop protection, I honestly think this is a great case and I think I would be very satisfied even if I had bought the case, I will definetly be checking out more Poetic brand cases in the future and I believe it is certainly a brand to look out for especially for the future.
Cool looking case... looks like it doesn't ship to the US? If Poetic wants to send me one, I'd gladly do a review

HI mate i think if you go on the american amazon website then you can get it shipped to the us.. i would think so as mine came from the US
I don't see the need to start a new thread for the Poetic Affinity Case.
I have tested the Poetic Affinity Edge + case. I will say that the case is top notch. The price is well worth it.
A few things I like about the case:
1. The design is great. You csn see the beauty of the s6 Edge Pluse all around. The accent of black on the corners,,back,sides and the lip of the case. The lip is awesome because it protects the phone's screen all around if it's dropped (which I did and it bounced when the lip hit the ground). The phone was fine.
2. The durability and thickness of the case, but yet still slim.
3. The feel of the case in your hands. The sides has ridges so while you're holdin5 it or talking on the phone, it wont slide out of your hands. Good idea on that one Affinity!
4. The all around design of the case was well thought out and not rushed out to consumers.
The only downside I could find with the case isn't actually Affinity's fault. Being as the case that I chose to test was the clear one, you can see the fingerprints on the back of the device if you don't wipe it off properly before putting it into the case.
Other than that, great case. The only way I will switch cases is if I can find a decent extended battery case for the s6 Edge +.
Great work Affinity, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to test your product.
Everyone with a s6 Edge + get this case

I received this case a few days ago and first thing I said when I opened the package was "now that's slick looking!"
I really really like this case! Below is a picture of it next to my Ringke Fusion case. I like the Poetic Affinity better. Not that the Ringke case was bad, it's very nice. I just like the look and feel of the Poetic case better.
I noticed much tighter tolerances with the Poetic case which is great. I also prefer no dust covers where the plugs are located. The cushioned corners are a nice addition as well, and they aren't huge but still offer a bit of extra protection.
Love this case on my Edge+!

I also have the Poetic case. Does a decent enough job of protection but my how easily it marks. Obvious really, its made from mirror like polycarbonate plastics. Looks great when new. I also use a sock to protect the front glass as have yet to find a glass 9H screen saver.

For Spigen Or Otterbox S6 Edge Case review
For Galaxy S6 Edge Case, I think this one is better than Spigen or Otterbox and just only $4.99. Simple and clean cellphone cover against scratches to give your best protection, which decorate our phone with unique style - love it!
Search for ASIN 'B016BSC0RK' at amazon.com, and find your own phone style.
I just got my case in and I am very pleased. Was with the Otterbox since day 1 but man this case is awesome. Really thin,I got the full clear case,buttons are nice and clicky,the protection is great. Put my phone in and dropped it on my tile floors and it just bounced. The case is firmly wrapped around the phone which is nice
I'm not going to post any pictures since they've already been posted .
I've bought several cases including one from Samsung three from Spidgen and two Casemates.
I hated the Spidgen cases all of them seemed like they wanted to slip off from the edges. The Casemate are a decent case but didn't seem like they offered top protection for my very expensive S6Edge Plus.
This Affinity case is absolutely the slickest looking case that affords premium protection for my phone.
I hate bulky cases or cheap feeling cases but I'll tell you this the Poetic Affinity case is THE best case I've found and I highly recommend it. Buy it you won't be disappointed at all. Two thumbs-up indeed.
